iCheck library not compatible with JAWS screen reader for accessibility #425

Open jonmichaelossola opened 4 years ago

jonmichaelossola commented 4 years ago

On any web browser -> specifically Chrome. Open JAWS screen reader. Open web page -> navigate to iCheck checkbox using tab -> when checkbox is in focus, press spacebar. Nothing happens.

Note: Jaws translates space key presses into click events. For this library it seems there are event listeners for the the checkbox and the surrounding elements. Because there is an early exit for click events on the input itself, it is causing nothing to occur.

Can anyone make a fix for this? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.
